Derek grew up in rural Virginia, graduated from James Madison University and Covenant Theological Seminary, and is the campus minister of RUF. He enjoys sports and literature, and can be found in coffee shops all over Oakland.

Luda is a graduate of Saint Louis University, having attained three degrees while studying in three different countries. She speaks a multitude of languages and may well be a spy. She enjoys thinking about gardening more than actually doing it, reading and cooking, particularly for others.
